Mega Com defies odds

FRANCISTOWN: When Michael Belebese started a new football team towards the end of last year and promised a short stint in the Third Division before going all the way to the Premier League, many fans thought he was building a pie in the sky.

But director of Mega Com Safaris has every reason to smile as his team named after his company is perched at the top of the Third Division log, 10 points clear of nearest rival, Mexican Dogs. "There is light at the end of the tunnel, we have already started our preparations for our campaign in the Second Division," said Belebese, who is credited with taking Francistown's oldest teams, Tafa FC from the Third Division to the Second Division.

Just five months after its formation, Mega Com has made a remarkable impression in the Third Division.  With six matches left before the league ends, it is leading the log with 36 points. Mega Com still needs to win three of their remaining six games to take an unassailable lead. Belebese attributes the team's success to being one close family. He doubles as the team's coach with Dixon Ndabambi as his assistant. He said as the management, they do not only care about the welfare of their players on the pitch, but off the field as well.
